The Magic Lamp: Dreams of Our Age by Ben Okri
A new collection of meditations and stories from the Booker Prize-winning author, Ben Okri. Illustrated by Rosemary Clunie.
This is a magical book in every sense, a spellbinding, poetic, artistic journey into our collective imaginations and inner selves -- Will Gompertz
[Okri] and Clunie step back from judgment, calling on us to draw our own conclusionsBut like Okri's young traveller, we may end up where we started, but seeing the place we thought we knew in a very different light * Financial Times *
Those who like their fairy stories with a moral backbone may find succour here * TLS *
Okri's writing has a light-as-air elegance, yet its seriousness keeps the stories gravity-bound * New Statesman *
